[esp-r] Re: radiance

[glbrune at polimi.it]

Hi Arianna,
I am far from being an ESP-r expert or a Radiance expert, but I'll  
give you the information I have hoping it might be useful.

The menu steps to get daylight factors with Radiance from ESP-r is  
short: browse/simulate -> simulation -> visual impact -> daylight  
factors.

I think that you should install Radiance in Cygwin from the source.

I remember that the first ESP-r precompiled version for Cygwin came  
with Radiance included, so it is likely that the compilation of  
Radiance for Cygwin is still possible. Said that, I can't assure it  
will work, because my experience with Cygwin is that compilations from  
sources often fail.

I remember that when I installed Radiance for Linux it was crucial  
that the Radpath Environment variable was specified in the bash  
configuration file (/etc/.bashr), as recommended I think in the  
Radiance's Readme file.

Best regards

Gian Luca Brunetti
